@Cat_YVR @peekaboo_jen It was super cool! One of the best moments of my career as Dr of Outlander, though graduation with Diana Gabaldon in attendance was definitely the coolest!

[Dr Alex Dold @AlexDold]

@AhtlanderPgh @peekaboo_jen @RaynaS_ginger Hi! I'm the historian who did her PhD in Outlander. In the UK, a PhD is entirely self-researched, no taught programmes. So I could just freely choose my topic as long as I found a uni who agreed (which @ThinkUHI did) and a supervisory team for it. I was very lucky!

[Dr Alex Dold @AlexDold]

@peekaboo_jen Thanks for sharing! He was indeed super lovely :)

[UHI Centre for History @UHIHistory]

It has been a busy graduations season at @ThinkUHI, and we would like to congratulate all our students celebrating their achievements! Big congratulations especially to one of our PG Researchers, Dr @AlexDold, who is graduating today at the UHI celebrations at @EdenCourt!

I am finally Dr Dold! Being a "doctor of #Outlander" is already amazing. I can't wait to see how my life develops from here. Follow along on instagram (Alex.dold.historian) or check out my website https://t.co/4W7x5rqUs5

Really enjoying the #PGconference on the topic of re-reading @UofGSMLC. It was a pleasure to present my paper on the foreshadowing strategies in @Writer_DG's Outlander novels yesterday. Continuing today with more interesting papers and meeting inspiring researchers.

Join our PGR student, @AlexDold, today (Tue 15 Oct 7.15pm (BST)) for this event at @FOHigLib! The talk focuses on intertextuality — a concept that explores how books, movies & other works of art echo, reference, or transform each other. Joining link & details in original post ⬇️

Been waiting for an important call which in the end didn't get through due to network issues. @O2 stop telling me my connection is fine if it clearly isn't. Also, please offer an option to chat with a member of staff rather than calling which I obviously can't!!

[Dr Alex Dold @AlexDold]

@SallyTuckett Thanks! Durie was a good start already, will look into Clyde and the exhibition catalogue. I just found an article by Katja Jylkka on the Loch ness monster narrative which is very helpful, too

[Dr Alex Dold @AlexDold]

Does anybody know any academic sources about tourism to Loch Ness? Preferably something that explores when it started and how it got more and more popular to visit #outlanderscholar #history #tourism

[Dr Alex Dold @AlexDold]

I have been trying for months to get (affordable) tickets to see @taylorswift13 in Edinburgh this weekend but it might be time to admit that it won't happen and go back to #phdlife instead of listening to all her albums.

[Inverness Outlanders TM @InverOutlanders]

World Outlander Day falls on June 1 each year with fans the world over paying tribute to the epic love story between Jamie (played by Sam Heughan ) & Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe ). This was the date Diana Gabaldon published her first novel way back in 1991 #WorldOutlanderDay

[Dr Alex Dold @AlexDold]

Happy World #Outlander Day! Celebrating the day by not working on my #PhD but spending time with family (and their new puppy) in the Highlands. #outlanderscholar #phdlife
